Your Enigmatic Smile


            Imagine of something that intrigues you when you see it. That it is like a mysterious thing that keeps you think of the answer. Probably, it’s hard to think but one example is the enigmatic smile of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa painting. The happiness of the smile is there but the smile not only means happy. It means a lot of things that Mona Lisa is experiencing. And it is not only the Enigmatic smile which gave the painting its popularity, there are also crimes and statements from Leonardo itself that gave a full boost to the painting towards popularity.

            Many speculations, experiments and debates were done just to describe and know the real meaning of Mona Lisa’s peculiar smile. All have contrasting and likely ideas. I have much speculations and questions about the painting itself. Why Leonardo does paint the picture? Why does he put that kind of smile?  What is the purpose of Leonardo in painting that picture? Many questions stop by our minds when we see or hear about Mona Lisa.
           
            I can describe Mona Lisa as a lady sitting on a bench with a disease. She’s like a lady that accomplished all the she wants in her life but there are some things or persons that she disgusts of. The smile describes her and as a human being, she got imperfections too. That people expect her to be perfect. She was disgusted with the fact that not all people dressed in beautiful clothes are beautiful within.

            Mona Lisa, as an overall painting, is like the normal painting that I always see. But that smile puts a diamond in the rough. The painting Mona Lisa is the second most expensive painting in the world and probably, the most intriguing painting.

            After all the intrigues, speculations and crimes, the painting by Mona Lisa always stay the same and the marks of history sheds in its texture. The painting itself marked its history in human tradition and in the field of arts. The excellence of Leonardo and his painting will exist in this world forever.
